The Sphenoid & KST.
The Sphenoid and the junction link to the Occipital Bone. The Sphenoid is the Yellow Bone; they join/ link at the Sphenobasiliar junction {SB}.
Sphenoid / Yellow Skull / Occipital – Purple Cranial Bone Butterfly
Cranial bones are first analysed to locate any forms of subluxations due to out of alignment or just joints not moving properly.
Adjustments to {S B} Sphenobasiliar, only adjustments needed would be Sphenoids and occipital, firstly using the diagnostic tool – Koren Specific Technique.
After a patient’s sphenoid has been adjusted most patients will feel a sense of lightness – maybe the feeling of walking on air- they say. Sometimes they mention that their eye sight seems sharper and much clearer.
Headaches and migraines may decrease and some chronic problems may go into remission.
Also moodiness and Depression will improve and the patient feels a sense of calming, and the relaxation of the nervous system is often mentioned.
Location of the Sphenoid
Sphenoid is Latin for " Butterfly " , The wings of the sphenoid are gently felt behind the eye, they may sublimate forward, backwards and in some cases even superiorly or inferiorly.
Subluxation between the sphenoid and the Occipital, both these bones of the cranium affect each other, due to there close alignment.
In most cases when there is subluxation in the sphenoid, this imbalance will cause a subluxation to the occipital which is the bone at the lowest part of the back of the head / skull, it is this bone which is used in the diagnostic method of the Koren Specific Technique. (KST). We call it the occipital drop. (OD)
What can a subluxated "Sphenoid" do to me?
When the sphenoid is subluxated it may cause many physical and mental problems.
Depression – Imbalance – Endocrine disturbances – Migraines – Headaches – problems with Taste and Smell – Hearing abilities and Speech – Disturbing of movement, Trembling – The regulation of Temperature – Memory disturbances – Intercranial pressure – Brain Fog – Insomnia – Lacriminal Glands and Nasal Glands – Double Vision Visual Problems – Tinnitus – also disturbances of the Vagus Nerve.
Part of the eye socket is made up of the sphenoid bone, and that’s why a subluxation to this area may be one cause of vision, nasal and other relative problems. Headaches/migraines which may be referring from the eyes may also be a pointer in the direction of the "Sphenoid".
